Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy has identified ellipal.download as a domain involved in phishing activities aimed at cryptocurrency users. Although the risk level is assessed as low, phishing sites like this attempt to steal sensitive information such as wallet credentials or private keys by masquerading as legitimate services. Users seeking secure crypto storage should be wary of any fraudulent sites mimicking trusted brands. This phishing scheme involved ellipal.download presenting itself as the official ELLIPAL Desktop Wallet page, a well-known secure cold storage solution. Attackers likely tried to deceive visitors into entering login details or downloading malicious software by replicating the genuine wallet’s interface. While only a small number of security vendors flagged this domain and it appeared on a single blocklist, the domain was promptly taken offline, reducing immediate threat. If you have visited ellipal.download, it is important to verify your crypto wallet security immediately. Change passwords and private keys if you suspect any compromise. Avoid downloading software from unofficial sources, and always confirm domain authenticity before entering sensitive data. Staying vigilant against such deceptive domains helps prevent unauthorized access and protects your digital assets. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260224-CE25F8 Favicon MD5: f9f789bb898d380628f6172e149ecb15 ## SCORING METHODOLOGY ---------------------------------------------------------------- Composite score is NOT derived from VirusTotal alone. PhishDestroy aggregates: - VirusTotal positive ratio - Public blocklist consensus (MetaMask, ScamSniffer, OpenPhish, PhishTank, URLhaus, CryptoFirewall, SEAL, Polkadot, Enkrypt, Phishunt, DiscordPhishing, PhishingDB) - Cloaking detection (HTTP 666 or rendering delta between bot and real visitor) - DNS-filter consensus (Quad9, CleanBrowsing, NextDNS, AdGuard, Cloudflare, etc.) - AlienVault OTX pulses + Cloudflare Radar + Google Safe Browsing - URLScan / URLQuery verdicts - Brand-impersonation heuristics (DOM analysis of forms, logos, wording) - Known phishing-kit fingerprinting (favicon hash, JS obfuscation signatures) - Wallet-drainer family classification (Angel, MS, Rainbow, Pink, Inferno, ...) - Free-TLS vs paid-cert ratio (throwaway infrastructure signal) - Registrar/hosting abuse history (this registrar's track record) - Human researcher sign-off (volunteer takedown team) A domain present in our database is ALREADY flagged. A low VT count by itself does NOT mean the domain is safe — new scam domains routinely show 0/95 VT for their first 7–30 days while actively draining wallets. Always cross-reference the composite score and the individual indicators above, not just VT. ## CORRECTIONS / APPEALS ---------------------------------------------------------------- Full HTML report: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/ellipal.download/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=ellipal.download Appeal a flag: https://phishdestroy.io/appeals/ (responded to within 48 hours, FP rate <0.01%) Submit a report: https://t.me/PhishDestroy_bot About PhishDestroy: volunteer-driven open-source threat-intelligence platform.
